Young history buff Kevin can scarcely believe it when six dwarfs emerge from his closet one night. Former employees of the Supreme Being, they've purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. Taking Kevin with them, they variously drop in on Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon before the Supreme Being catches up with them.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
When you can count the laughs in a comedy on the fingers of one hand, it isn't so funny.
– Variety Staff,

fresh:
The film is resolutely, passionately antiadult, yet much of the humor has an adult sophistication and edge to it; this is one kids' movie that doesn't condescend.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
Gilliam fills the screen with bizarre images, and directs with a breathless ingenuity.
– Nigel Floyd,

fresh:
Amazingly well-produced. The historic locations are jammed with character and detail. This is the only live-action movie I've seen that literally looks like pages out of Heavy Metal magazine.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
A cheerfully irreverent lark -- part fairy tale, part science fiction and part comedy.
